Song Yan said softly, "Okay."
This was the first time Song Yan had a real fight with Xie Shizhu. The woman had quick reactions and was agile, able to dodge his attacks every time, even with ease.
Song Yan remembered Xie Shizhu's words and did not let him win.
So the two of them fought for the entire morning, and the onlookers were tired of watching.
Song Yan was thinking seriously when he suddenly saw Xie Shizhu's hair was loose and the hairpin he gave her fell to the ground. He was distracted for a second when the slender and sharp sword was pointed straight at his throat.
In an instant, the air became stagnant.
Shen Jingming was slightly startled, and quickly said in surprise: "We won!"
Xie Shizhu looked at Song Yan's stunned eyes and said, "I accept the loss."
Song Yan never thought that Xie Shizhu would seize this opportunity in just a second.
The soldiers of Beimo cheered in unison, while the people of Yanguo were dejected. A general on one side said unconvincedly, "The Emperor and Princess Shijin are already in a marriage relationship..."
Everyone could understand the hidden meaning in his words, which probably meant that Song Yan did not use all his strength, but gave in to Xie Shizhu.
Hearing this, Shen Jingming was a little displeased and said angrily: “If you are not as good as others, then you are not as good as others. Why do you still like to make excuses?”
Song Yan: “…”
Xie Shizhu snorted coldly, pointed his sword at the general's face, and said slowly, "Then come with me once, and you'll know whether he really lets you win or not."
The general sneered, "Okay."
After saying this, the two men faced each other with swords drawn.
Originally, the general thought that the emperor deliberately let Xie Shizhu, but he did not dare to say it out loud, so he could only fight Xie Shizhu alone to save Yanguo.
Besides, Xie Shizhu had been dueling with Song Yan for the whole morning, so he must be out of energy.
But he didn't expect that Xie Shizhu had subdued him in just one hour.
The general had been a veteran on the battlefield for many years, and this was completely beyond his expectations. The woman's swordsmanship was steady, accurate and ruthless, catching him off guard every time.
Finally, his body tilted and he fell to the ground.
Xie Shizhu dismounted from his horse and stepped directly on his chest with his combat boots, demanding word by word, "Should we surrender now?"
The general was too ashamed to face anyone. He thought to himself that he must have underestimated the enemy and that was why he lost.
He uttered a dull "hmm".
After he finished speaking, people from the entire Northern Desert cheered.
Xie Shizhu raised her eyebrows as she saw the malice value dropped to 10.
*
At night, Xie Shizhu was sleeping in the camp when he heard a noise outside, which seemed to be the sound of something burning, and an unpleasant smell.
She woke up instantly, sat up suddenly, picked up the cloak beside her and quickly draped it over her shoulders, and took the sword beside the pillow in her hand.
When I walked outside, a wave of heat rose up. Not far away, several soldiers from the Northern Desert were rolling on the ground due to being burned by the fire.
The general, whose chest she had stepped on during the day, stepped into the northern desert area with the soldiers behind him.
Normally they wouldn't come in so easily, but after what happened during the day, they had let down their guard.
I thought the people of Yanguo had admitted defeat, but I didn't expect them to go back on their word.
Xie Shizhu frowned slightly as he looked at the dense crowd.
General Shen came out of the camp and saw this scene with an extremely bad face. He said angrily: "You have no credibility."
After cursing, General Shen gave an order for all the soldiers to be ready, and then started the final fight with these people.
Success or failure depends on tonight.
Xie Shizhu immediately mounted a horse. She looked at the fighting crowd and squinted her eyes to look for Song Yan's figure in the moonlight. Unfortunately, she didn't see him at all.
She pursed her lips, pulled the reins, and rode her horse quickly to a place not far from the general. Then she raised her chin and stared at him.
The general stabbed the sword into the soldier's chest and then pulled it out. After noticing Xie Shizhu's gaze, he instantly shifted his target to her.
He lost to Xie Shizhu during the day and felt very unhappy.
He, a tall and strong man, was actually no match for a weak woman.
Thinking of this, the general gritted his teeth and rode towards her with his horse and sword in hand.
Unfortunately, before he could get close to Xie Shizhu, he saw the woman's slender fingertips throw out a small silver object, and the next second, it pierced his throat.
The general was stunned. It seemed as if his throat was bitten by a mosquito, but there was no pain at all. Why was his whole body stiff and unable to move?
Suddenly, the general thought of something and his pupils shrank. This was a poison needle, something that only the legendary Ghost Emperor had.
He opened his eyes wide in disbelief, looking at Xie Shizhu with eyes full of fear and horror, as if he couldn't believe that she was the Ghost Emperor.
Xie Shizhu leaped onto the general's horse, held his sword against his neck from behind, and said coldly, "I have the antidote. If you answer my questions and tell the truth, I will definitely let you go."
The general, now somewhat more lucid, said, "Why should I believe you?"
The other soldiers were fighting each other, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
When the soldiers of Yanguo suddenly saw their commander being threatened by Princess Beimo, they were stunned and did not dare to act rashly, waiting for the commander's order.
The fighting suddenly stopped.
Xie Shizhu said indifferently: "If you don't believe me, I will kill you. If you believe me, I will let you go. It's your choice."
As soon as he finished speaking, the general's face froze. Looking at the surprised expressions of his men, he felt even more uncomfortable.
How come I was subdued by this woman again?
But life is more important than a man's dignity.
"Okay, ask."
Xie Shizhu asked calmly, "Was it Song Yan's idea to go back on his word?"
